MAC Morange Lipstick Review Swatches Photos

MAC Morange (Rs 990 for 0.10 oz) is an amplified crème finish lipstick.MAC Morange Lipstick Review Swatches Photos (3)MAC Morange Lipstick Review Swatches Photos (4)I was eyeing on this shade since along time but never thought of buying it as it is too loud for me. However, neons and loud shades are in trend so thought of giving it a try!!

Shade – On MAC’s website, Morange is described as “Loudmouth orange” .I would call it a true bright orange with very little red tones. It is completely like ‘hanumanji tikka’. I find this shade very hard to carry but still I use it as I love its neon effect.It makes my lips stand out and imparts glow to the face.MAC Morange Lipstick Review Swatches Photos (2)Packaging – MAC Morange has similar packaging as other permanent MAC lipstick shades having a black casing.

Texture & Formula – The texture is smooth and glides on easily. It is creamy and provides little glossy finish on lips. The formula is moisturising. However, it can accentuate dry flaky lips and can settle in lip lines so proper exfoliation prior its application is necessary. It is light weight and non-sticky. It is glossy initially but then settles to a matte finish after half an hour of application. MAC Amplified crème finish is a perfect combination of creamy texture and pigmented shade.

Pigmentaton – MAC Morange is highly pigmented and goes completely opaque in one swipe. Even if you apply it using a light hand, then also it will give medium coverage to lips. I generally apply it and wipe it off lightly with a tissue. This way, the ‘loud’ effect gets little subtle and wearable.MAC Morange Lipstick Review Swatches Photos (1)

Staying Power – It stays for about 4-5 hours and leaves a heavy orange-y stain on lips that too stays for a long time and has to be removed with cleanser.

Overall Thoughts

MAC Morange is an altogether different shade that cannot be worn on all occasions and with all looks but it is definitely a statement lipcolor in its own. The texture is smooth and creamy and the pigmentation is amazing. This shade will look good on all skin tones but it shows differently on everybody. It stays for a decent amount of time and leaves an orange stain on lips.I would suggest buying this shade if you like wearing loud and neon lipcolor and don’t shy away from trying unique shades.

I keep my rest make very natural- tight lined eyes and mascara, only highlighter on cheeks and let this lip shade be the centre of attraction.

A closer possible budget dupe for this is Colorbar Velvet matte lipstick Obsessed Orange. Morange is more neon and Obsessed orange is slightly yellow based.
